Police in Oklahoma City are looking for two people wanted in connection with a shooting at an apartment complex.

Police said a man was shot in the neck in the incident on Thursday at the Grand Boulevard Apartments near Northeast 23rd Street and Northeast Grand Boulevard.

"We all just got on the ground and take cover," said neighbor Yolanda Wall. "It's been happening for the past couple of days. We can't live. Our kids can't come outside and play."

Wall said shots have been fired near her home three times in one week.

Thursday night, the area was taped off where police said the man was shot at least twice.

Police said the courtyard was crowded with people who scattered, running all directions when they heard gunfire, which made it difficult for officers to determine if the shooter was still on the grounds or had already escaped.

"I was out here a while ago, and I had to hide because I thought I was going to get shot," said Bruce Denmark, who lives and works at Grand Boulevard.

Denmark said he believes there's a growing gang influence making it hard for law-abiding citizens to live in peace.

"They're young kids, 16 or 17 years old, who are just trying to make an example that they can do what they want to do," Denmark said.
